...alert for an overt move. It never came. Next day the Life Guards decided the Russians would not invade and rolled back to their barracks. The German frontier guards followed. The Communists climbed out of their foxholes and marched home. On the Soviet side the Vopos resumed their ceaseless patrols. On the West, farmers who had watched the "battle" with bated breath, sighed over a damaged crop of hay, flattened with the wheels of armored cars and the tramp of marching...
...Picasso, unlike some of his admirers, is steeped in the past . . . His explorations have led him to stylistic exercises which at first sight disturb, or even horrify, but which, on analysis, reveal elements derived from remote antiquity or the art-forms of primitive peoples . . .

Off the coast, cold water wells up from the bottom of the sea bringing nutrients that support vast shoals of fish on which the guano birds feed. Sometimes a shift of wind or ocean currents brings warm water to their islands. Then the fish disappear, and the birds starve...
